Keep Your Workouts Interesting!

Change up your workouts, try something new!

Many people do NOT enjoy working out!  There was a time where I was right there with you, it was a chore, unenjoyable. Not enjoying the activity is a major barrier to why people do not exercise on a consistent basis.  The key is to keep your workouts interesting.  Try something new!  For me, my workouts vary daily: Bodyweight Training and Yoga, Running with my dog, Training Muay Thai Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Teaching Cardio classes.  My job makes this very easy but even I get bored in the weight room.  My workouts keep evolving and I rarely do the same workouts.  

*The less reasons you have as to why you don't want to workout today (time, tiredness, boredom, etc.) the better your workout routine will be.  So let's eliminate this one!  

• Try a new activity! (a new sport, type of training, etc.): Learning a new activity takes a lot of thought to learn the skill and can make the workout much more enjoyable.
• Join a club/group: Running groups, Rec Sports, Dance groups, etc. are a great way to enjoy an activity socially.
• Vary your daily workout: Doing the same workout routine or same activity day in and day out can become tedious and unenjoyable. Each day do something different.
• Change the environment: Workout in the gym, take a class at a private studio, enjoy the nice weather at a park/beach while being active...there are so many options here and this is so easy to do!
